LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Vote Lent, We Don't Need More of the Same

I’ve heard it said ... Patty Lent’s opponent already knows the ropes when it comes to managing Bremerton.

I say ... the last thing Bremerton residents should want is more of the same: Huge, huge debt; empty commercial buildings; most streets in extreme need of repair and fewer and fewer resident homeowners.

I certainly wouldn’t want my mayor to have spent his/her career being paid with tax dollars. With that mindset, raising taxes is always the first way out. Let’s not continue down that path of failure by electing someone who is content with “more of the same.”

Patty Lent is fresh with wonderful ideas and solutions. With her valuable experience comes the driving desire to make Bremerton thrive. And she instills her enthusiasm in people around her. Patty Lent listens; she’s always available and can communicate at any level.

As a former business owner in downtown Bremerton and resident, I urge you to vote for Patty Lent. All of Kitsap County will be better with Patty as the mayor of Bremerton.
